DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The right to be heard, even at the highest levels, is something Americans take for granted. Over the years countless people have taken pen in hand and begun a letter with the words Dear Mr. President. A mere toe dip into the National Archives' vast holdings, Dear Mr. President presents a delirious potpourri of 87 letters for perusal. The epistolary arts are every voyeur's secret pleasure, and the most public of public offices compels people of all walks of life, from children to the working man to the very famous, to put pen to paper. This carefully selected batch of letters, from over one hundred years of archiving letters to the President, includes such gems as the letter from a ten year old Fidel Castro to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 requesting ten bucks; an offer from Annie Oakley to President McKinley to raise a company of fifty American lady sharpshooters in the event of a war with Spain; a scrawled note on American Airlines in flight letterhead from Elvis Presley to Richard Nixon offering his services to fight the Hippie Elements; and a very moving letter about the state of civil rights from Jackie Robinson to President Eisenhower. The book opens with a 5,000 word introduction by Thomas Mallon, a well known figure who can place these letters in the American consciousness and give some further information on some of them. The letters themselves are reproduced where possible as full size facsimiles and are accompanied with commentary to help the reader place them within historical events. Some archival photos will also run with the letters, in cases where we have photos of the writer and the President together.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →My Dear President is a historic, heartfelt collection of letters between first ladies and presidents -- including many that have never been published -- that casts a warm, new light on our leaders at their most open-hearted and vulnerable. "I am very madly in love with you," wrote Lyndon Johnson to his future wife, Bird Taylor. James Madison sent off this plaintive line to his wife Dolley: "Every thing around and within reminds me that you are absent." In this inspiring collection of correspondence between U.S. presidents and their wives are hundreds of unguarded moments of affection, strain, grief, and triumph, revealing as never before the private thoughts and working partnerships of our most public figures. Culled from the holdings of the Library of Congress and various presidential libraries and private collections, it is the most comprehensive compilation of its kind ever put together. Gerard Gawalt, a curator of presidential papers at the Library of Congress for the past thirty years, has divided the book thematically into such topics as love, war, politics, travel, and sorrow. Each letter appears in its entirety, with the original spelling and grammar intact, and is set in historic context for a full sense of the moment that formed its backdrop. In most cases, exchanges are included, forming an enlightening dialogue between husband and wife. Throughout, historic photographs and artwork from the Library of Congress's collection enhance the text. Like its companion volume, First Daughters, My Dear President is bound to become a cherished gift for all those interested in American history for years to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Letter to the President and People of the United States Sir, and Fellow Citizens: Intending for publication this letter touching the legal aspects of the great pending and impending political controversies in which the whole people are deeply interested, I enclose it to the chief law officer of the Government, with the remark that no one would more cheerfully correct any error into which I may have fallen, or would more sincerely regret to give it currency than I would. Of the late war or of war measures, it is not my design to speak. What I have now to say is based on the position that all the great political questions of the present time, which is a time of peace, are questions of law.
